Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Kids love to get presents, and hate to write thank you notes! Make it fun for them by letting them stamp the sentiment with a multi-colored ink pad. You could even include the ink and the sentiment stamp, along with some plain colored note cards or post cards in their stocking. After Christmas have cookies and hot cocoa and write your cards together.

The sites listed below showcase some delightful designs for the words thank you.

If you've never tried the Rollagraph tool by Clearsnap, this is a great excuse. There is a Rollagraph wheel with thank you in many different languages and fonts. The kids can just roll a border around the edge of the card and write their message inside. For younger children, you can roll the border around an 8 1/2 x ll sheet and they can draw a picture of the gift inside. The Rollagraph designs can be purchased, as well as viewed at http://www.clearsnap.com.

At http://www.1001stamps.com they'll let you take the easy way out with the In a Hurry!Thank You Stamp, (the catalog # is J1690). Just check the appropriate box and your thank you note is complete. Talk about user friendly. If you prefer your children to do a little of the work, there is also a Thank You card, (the catalog # for this is S1585), that requires a touch more effort. This one is a fill in the blank, as opposed to check the box. For the creative kid in your home, there is a wonderful spiral Thank you, (catalog # Hl650) that would look awesome on the front of a card.

If you prefer a variety of looks, but don't want to search for a variety of stamps, try http://www.storeyahoo.com/heroarts and go to the Little Sets designation. Here you'll find a set of three Thank You stamps, along with a Dauber Duo ink pen.

For the whimsical look, check out http://www.zimprints. Their thank you's are unique and would be perfect for teen-agers.

For a variety of designs head to http://www.uptowndesign.com. The various artists available mean a thank you for every style. Victorian thank you stamps by Holly Pond Hill, Country styles by Sandi Gore Evans and a new line by Alicia Tormey will enable you to say thank you with your own special flair.

Gratitude shouldn't be a chore...and with fun stamps and colorful inks it won't be!
